Flash player problem in Linux -Fedora-8

Dear Friends,
I have a web application which required firefox-3 and flash player 10 or
above to run it properly. I am using Fedora-8.
I have upgraded my firefox 2 to Firefox3.
I got Fash player rpm (Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.22.87 for Linux )
from
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ I have installed it but still I am getting the message while running that
URL saying that
"Please install Adobe flash player.
You do not have the required version of Adobe Flash installed. Please
visit Flash
Player Website <http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash> to install it. This
application requires Flash version 10 or above."
Can anybody tell me how to resolve this problem?
Is it plugin problem?
How to connect flash player to firefox?
Can anybody tell me the steps to be taken to resolve this problem?

Why don't you try the following command after gaining root privilege by switching to su
yum install flash-plugin-10.0.22.87-release.i386
It will automatically detect repository from internet and install plugin...provided you have a working internet connection....

Dear friends,
Tons of thanks for your valuable help for me to resolve the pobelm of flash
player on fedora-8.
I have installed flash player 10 on my system successfully but now another
problem has been started that after connecting that web application or any
vedio file, my Firefox getting crashed after few seconds and promted me to
restart. I dont know why this is happening.
Trying to solve this problem now.
If anybody experienced this problem please can you tell me why this is
happeneing?

Try installing a tool called firstaidkit by running command yum
install firstaidkit.
Then as a root user run
yum update firefox
It will also update a dependency package called xulrunner ....which is
required by firefox
Then run
firstaidkit -a fix
Pls. keep posted...
Cheers!
